Health fitness

Citizen and State

Medical fitness means the physical ability to drive a motor vehicle, which is assessed by a medical examination.

The minimum requirements for physical and mental fitness for driving are based on provisions of Annex III to Directive 2006/126/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on driving licences, transposed into the Slovak legal order.

Medical fitness is checked by a doctor accredited in the Slovak Republic with a specialisation in the field of general medicine, who provides general outpatient health care for adults, or a doctor with a specialisation in the field of paediatrics, who provides general outpatient health care for children and adolescents.

A person shall be physically fit before starting a driving training.
